I'm glad Dragneto didn't make it into the movie. But, of course, the mainstream audience might have liked it, it's hard to tell. As a deleted scene, it's fine. Would have been even better if it was a deliberate bit of goofing around.

Some humour in comic book adaptations is fine but you have to be careful or it looks like you are not taking the material seriously, which provokes the anger of fans and starts pushing the film towards satire.

I could even have done without the Wolverine cameo.

(Not that this is to do with humour, but I also think the film would have still been great without seeing a young Storm in the Cerebro sequence).

I don't know just how much control he had over this movie... but I fear for an X-Men movie in which Vaughn is given absolute free reign.

If I recall right, FilmNerdJamie said that Fox actually left the X-Men: First Class production alone and let Vaughn and the producers make the film they set out to do. It wasn't as if Tom Rothman was constantly critiquing and forcing 'suggestions' for the film.

As for the DVD release, it seems like us Americans get stuck with a 22-minute featurette. It's better than a completely no-frills package, but a commentary by Vaughn and co-writer Jane Goldman plus a gag reel would be great.

Fox pretty much guarantees a profit once they greenlight sequels for X-Men: First Class and Rise of the Apes. Not if, when. I can pretty much guarantee the sequels will double the domestic grosses of their predecessors just on carryover of goodwill alone.

I expect Fox to greenlight an X-Men: First Class sequel by the end of the year, for a summer 2013 release. Same for an Apes sequel.

Hey, guys. I've got a real stuff for: a whole bunch (for the ones who concern - 13) of deleted/extended scenes. I ripped them off from the Blu-ray image that has been floating around the Internet for a few days. So, just follow the link. Sorry, no embed players (YouTube will just block you if you upload any of these scenes to it).
